Autobattler roguelites shift the main skill from direct execution to preparation: unit choices, item synergies, formations, upgrades, and route decisions. The fight resolves semi-automatically, so the build is the argument.

Example
Loop Hero, Despot's Game, and several squad-based horde roguelites use this structure to make planning more important than twitch reactions.

Why it matters
